This episode of Somewhere in the Skies is a memorial tribute to Nick Pope, who died from cancer. Host Ryan Sprague opens with personal anecdotes about meeting Pope at UFO conferences and filming with him. He then replays an interview conducted in 2021 with Pope and Stephen Greenstreet on the set of their show, The Basement Office. The interview begins with Sprague expressing excitement about being in the Basement Office and asking about Pope's temporary departure from Twitter. Pope explains he left to focus on research for season three of The Basement Office, avoiding distractions. Greenstreet teases season three, describing it as a journey to trace breadcrumbs back to the source, reversing the typical approach. Pope adds that season three will feature more dramatic tension between him and Greenstreet. The discussion shifts to current UFO developments, with Pope analyzing the Gillibrand-Rubio amendment and the Pentagon's AOIMSG, noting a 'dog fight' over control. Greenstreet emphasizes safety concerns from unidentified objects. Sprague asks about the Calvine incident, and Pope details the mystery of the missing photos, suggesting they might be in U.S. files.

Greenstreet and Pope offer final thoughts, urging listeners to question everything and expect the unexpected. After the interview, Sprague includes a video montage of Pope's past interviews, where Pope discusses his MOD work, belief in extraterrestrial life, and descriptions of 'little grey' beings. The episode ends with Sprague's tribute, hoping Pope finds answers 'somewhere in the skies.'
